The breakwater, Mohle Fort and the anchorage at Funchal, Madeira. The photographer is looking east from the gardens of Reid's Palace Hotel showing the breakwater and Mohle Fort protecting the Bahia da Potinha. The Savoy Hotel's private pool and bathing huts are on the left. The passenger landing pier on the town's waterfront can be seen above the inland end of the breakwater. The Swedish passenger cruise ship Kungsholm (1928), seen from off her starboard quarter, is in the anchorage with bumboats close by.
